How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Nolana Animal Hospital

Preventive care

So friendly and informative. Discuss illness treatment with options and take time to listen to concerns. Print out educational material as well. Made us feel like the health of my pet is of ultimate importance and it shows! Thank you all for your help and kindness in taking care of my Lucy(mix shepherd).

We've had wonderful experiences with the Nolana Animal Hospital. Our dogs have recieved excellent care from both Dr. Ramos and Dr. Bentsen. The techs and front desk crew are also all very friendly and helpful. Best place in the Valley to bring your furry family members.

Dr. Ramos is an exceptionally gifted professional, as are the very kind personnel that support his professional efforts. One of the hallmarks of his staff is that they go to exceptional lengths to keep the "family members" (pet owner) of their patients well informed as to the status of a patient as well as being very sensitive to the anxiety that a pet owner may have as it relates to the well being of their pet. The staff's sensitivity to keeping all well informed, by all accounts seems to be a direct reflection of Dr. Ramos' individual attention to detail and his sensitivity to taking what ever time is necessary in not only expertly treating the patient, but also in providing the pet owner with a succinct understanding of the patient's problem and what to expect from the proposed treatment. From a personal perspective, I do not believe that any pet owner could ask for better patient care than the care that is demonstrated in this Office!!!!

This was the BEST and easiest vet visit I’ve experienced. I’ve gone to other animal hospitals to take my two dogs and always dreaded going. I decided to give Nolana Animal hospital a call and their customer service and friendliness blew me away. I was on time to the appointment and was in and out in less than 45 minutes. I highly recommend this place.
